this is a great book of revenge and love

I liked this book because it was full of suspense and was a great story for being written in the 1800's.It was a great book about love and revenge of how Edmond Dantes does it. It also had many other subjects of many other things it was an older book that can be related to in our times and it doesn't seem like it was an older book it is an excellent story for all ages to read.

A wonderful account of an innocent 's revenge on his enemies

This book is a beautifully written novel about a man who is betrayed by his friends. Taken from his lover, father and life as he knows it, Edmond Dantes is forced into a cold dungeon cell of the Chateau D'If. There he comes about a number of circumstances which lead to his escape from the prison, purchase of the Island of Monte Cristo and crowning as Count and delivery of atonement his "friends" full of beguile. In this novel one will learn that the "good guy always wins" if he is only willing to wait for it. One of Dumas's best, The Count of Monte Cristo wraps a love story in a truly riveting action-mystery novel
